Manitoban women's under-18 team hopes for another shot at gold

WINNIPEG — They’ll be a younger team but they’d like to fix one small matter from last year’s national women’s Under-18 hockey championship.

"We went in there wanting to make history for Manitoba and we knew we could be the team to do that," said Team Manitoba forward Nicole Carswell, 17, about 2012’s 2-1 gold-medal loss to Team Ontario-Blue. "When we lost, it was a pretty upsetting. But as rookies, we just had to get the mentality that next year, we’ll hope to have a better result."

Team Manitoba has five returning players, including Carswell, today’s roster unveiling showed.

The team is off to the nationals for another crack at that gold November 6-10 in Calgary.
